People's culture is a collection of common customs and traditions of a people in a society that reflects the actions and manners of the past of that society and is rooted in their history. It, consequently, is a fertile source for its nation, and it is also a reliable support for the people to stand against adversity and difficulties in critical historical periods as necessary.  Since the poetry of poets sometimes reflects the customs and beliefs of the people, and shows the course of thought, belief system, and the culture of the poet's time, one can find these notions in the works of poets and thinkers such as Jami. Considering the importance of folk elements and its impact on the socio-cultural dimensions of Iran, and its reflection in Persian literature, this study uses the definitions of folk elements in the field of popular science and art, and also relies on folk beliefs by analytical-content and qualitative method.  The study of popular culture is discussed with regards to Jami's Haft Orang.

Keywords: ami, Haft Orang, folk culture, folklore, people's beliefs, customs.
